Is this anything you have in a letter, or even an email message? Perhaps
you could run off a few dozen and stash them at the Registration Desk at
AATSEEL? Then the poor grad students would be at least armed with a
slingshot when doing battle with the MLA Goliaths.

I personally like northern cities like Toronto! I don't remember it being
all that cold four years ago... And we drove back via Niagara Falls, that
was a treat. All possible AATSEEL/MLA cities have their advantages, you
just have to embrace them.
